>>Here's my take on smoking laws.
>>
>>Smoking is not illegal. It probably is not any worse for health 
>>than someone wearing perfume (you should only know what is in that 
>>crap.
>>
>>So, given that it is legal and smokers are part of the public (and 
>>therefor own public spaces just like everyone else) why do we allow 
>>their rights to be discriminated against?
>>
>>Laws effecting private spaces are worse. Why do we allow fools to 
>>impose rules on, say a restaurant? That is, after all, a private 
>>place nobody is forced to enter. If a restaurant owner wants to 
>>allow smoking and people don't like it, they simply won't patronize 
>>the place . . . just like if he serves bad food. But it is the 
>>owners right to decide how to run his establishment, not some putz 
>>who got himself elected.
>>
>>I have a private company with less that 50 employees, which puts me 
>>under the radar for the social gestapo. Outside the rear door is a 
>>very neat sign.
>>
>>It says "Employee non smoking area". Anyone who works for me knows 
>>they can step outside any time they want and not smoke.
>>
>>BTW I got the idea from the pastor of my church.

>>>I think we have far too many laws and most are about making money 
>>>than saving lives.  We have had the smoking laws in Tasmania for 
>>>years and now it is just part of life.  The latest one is that you 
>>>can't smoke in your own car if children are in it. They are 
>>>gradually making public space a not smoke zone. I don't smoke but 
>>>I don't agree with these kind of laws.
>>>

>>
>>>I have smoking friends so I go to the smoking areas with them, 
>>>every pub has an area set aside outside but that would be hard in 
>>>the snow.  The smoking laws here are just getting stronger each 
>>>year.

>>well, since i was already old in 2007 - i don't really feel any 
>>older today.  i went to my daughter's annual new years eve party 
>>last nite.  not as many there as usually because it started snowing 
>>and blowing around here in the afternoon and the roads were pretty 
>>bad.  (we live a in a very small rural town remember - no one 
>>cleans the streets and roads unles we get 6 or more inches it seems 
>>- and the country roads are the worst).   we played a game called 
>>catch phrase until people started to leave before midnite afraid 
>>they wouldn't get home at all.  then we played a game called scene 
>>it - about movies.  i was very bad at that one.
>>
>>
>>
>>this morning my friends called to see if i were going to go for 
>>coffee and i still had my jammies on - i told them to come over 
>>here and watch the parade with me so i had a house full of old 
>>women all morning.  i intend not to leave my house today.
>>
>>
>>
>>  illinois just implemented a law today to have no smoking in all 
>>bars, restaurants, private clubs even and smokers have to be 15 
>>feet from a door outside.   you know, i have been socially 
>>unacceptable with my smoking and so have most of my friends.  we 
>>have coffee every morning to check up on each other as we all live 
>>alone.   if someone isn't there and we didn't know ahead of time it 
>>is time to start calling them.  we're really upset about this law 
>>but will try it for awhile - if we decide coffee isn't fun anymore 
>>we will all congregate at my house.   my non-smoking friends are as 
>>unhappy about the law as my smoking friends.  i often wondered how 
>>the nazi's were able to just round up all the jews and they all got 
>>on the trains and filed into the showers.  i'm beginning to see 
>>more and more how that could have happened - we just blindly do 
>>whatever our legislators deem right for all of us and most of them 
>>are a bunch of hired blowhards.  they even want the citizenry to 
>>report on people disobeying this law.  now, didn't the nazi's 
>>implement that tattling on your neighbor plan?  ok - i've vented. 
>>happy new year you guys.
